its been four years now

Dong Qai ( i dont know if i spelled that right)
Evening Primrose Oil
You can get a tea with these herbs in them
You should also make sure you get plenty of sunlight, vitamin D works wonders.
Also, try to do the same thing everyday— go to bed at the same time, try not to use the lights in your house at night, try to do things in accordance with the daylight. Try to keep your stress levels low, and eat healthy foods rich in iron, vitamin D, and vitamin C.
Get plenty of sleep and excersize a little every day.

If this fails- at least keep a record of how you feel, if you have PMS or moodswings. Then see if you can recognize a pattern.
I dont know anything about maca, sorry

How long have you been bleeding for? THe first 3 years can be irregular

i do what i can just to have the energy to play for a few hours a day with my baby.
i take my antidepressants religiously
i take b complex vitamins
i take iron supplements
i take maca root powder
i drink water
i only eat unprocessed foods from almost all the food groups

despite those things, i cant keep my eyes open
i feel very faint during exercise and always sleep for hours following it.
i nap twice a day and sleep 10 hours at night

what else can i do to get energy?
i am desperate and none of my doctors can help, they all say..just take it easy because your depression is probably causing the fatigue ..

this tired feeling i have all the time is soo…icky . i just feel really groggy and heavy like i could fall asleep anywhere

i should also say i have been this way for many years off antidepressants and on them, i have tried all of them.
i am on good old prozac and wellbutrin now

otherwise i am a healthy, slim, young woman.

This may be a long shot….
Maybe sunlight therapy would be worth looking into. They have systems you can use inside whenever you want.

I'm finally going to give Clomid a Try!? http://www.macaguru.com/6/i-admit-defeat-im-finally-going-to-give-clomid-a-try http://www.macaguru.com/6/i-admit-defeat-im-finally-going-to-give-clomid-a-try#comments Sat, 06 Dec 2008 20:03:16 +0000 admin http://www.macaguru.com/6/i-admit-defeat-im-finally-going-to-give-clomid-a-try I have been TTC for 3 years. The first problem came up when I was diagnosed with DUB (dysfuncional uterine bleeding). Basically I would bleed for 3 weeks straght, and it wouldnt stop. Right then the dr. put me on progesterone and iron. Took it for a year, no luck. I decided to try some herbal treatments (vitex, maca root, DIM), no luck. So, I called my dr. and he thinks we should try clomid. I've never taken clomid, and I didnt want to b/c of my DUB. I was afraid it would flare up again if I started messing with my hormones again. Basically, have any of you had any side effects from Clomid, and successes, any dissapointments??

I had several attempts with Clomid with no success. After completing 6 cycles (which is the max), I was then put on Metformin. We're planning to start trying again for our 2nd child next year and I am starting on Metformin by the end of the year.

Every person is different. Once your blood work is done, your doctor will be able to determine if Clomid (or a combination of stimulants) are right for you.

I have had friends who were very successful with Clomid alone.

One of the main side effects is that it enlarges your ovaries because it pushes you to ovulate mutilple eggs. I had nausea and headaches for the first 2 attempts ….after that it was fine.

here's some info about clomid…

LMP was 8/5 Thanks in advance!

Please if you are trying to conceive, stay away from all and any products containing soy. Soy is highly detrimental to your health and your babies health. Soy has no actual nutritional value, it was only ever consumed in times of poverty and famine. Why not change your lifestyle to organic foods, rather than popping vitamins (which in fact only have a very small amount of the vitamin in the pill, the rest is just icing or wheaten). Maca is a great product, flaxseed oil has no nutritional value at all. I come from a family of Maoris and we never injested flaxseed. By the way flaxseed is always rancid.

My mom said she never had much of one either. Sometimes out of the blue I have a very high sex drive for a couple of days then it goes away for a long time. The last time I had a high libido was a couple of days after I started taking omega 3 and add'l iron and I had a maca maca root smoothie (shaman) it went on for like 4 days. My hubs was very happy!

I tried getting a maca root supplement but I don't think it's working. I asked my gyn about it and she said it's so common there's nothing to worry about and kinda brushed it off.

Any natural herbs, remedies etc would be great!
I exercise reg., I take zinc, a multi vitamin, only answer if you have an genuine comment

Why is your sex drive low in the first place? That is what you should determine…Is it any medication like birth control? That could be it along with no time and stress. I was in your situation before and it's not too pleasant nor fun. I tried everything to regain it but after months of exercising and dieting nothing came back at all. I then tried a natural herbal enhancer thinking these herbs can re-boost my sex drive. I took them and let me tell you the truth. These things work so great and are my new best friends. They really take the libido up and make you so horny when you need to be. Along with that the orgasms are 20x's better and come in multiple now. The stuff is called Hersolution and you can read up about it at herenhancement.com where I saved $30 on it at the time. You will love this stuff. Well good luck and I hope this helps.

If so, what kind of herbs did you try and for how long?
I have been reading about different herbs such as Maca that is supposed to regulate a woman's hormones naturally. ***My background I am 28, i do not have kids, I have been diagnosed with PCOS, I produce more estrogen and not enough progesterone, and I have been trying to conceive for quite some time now without any luck. I plan to get insurance at my job in May during open enrollement so I can get fertility medicine but I am hoping that maybe if I try the herbal route that it may work and I can finally be a mommy.
Thank you in advance,
Melissa

Hi! I have been trying to concieve with Pcos for years, have been with Husband for 5 years, I am 29. I have been on 4 rounds of Clomid with no luck, I recently was searching stuff online like natural stuff,because fertility specialists can get expensive, and I bought Ovulex 3 months ago online at there website,www.ovulex.com, I bought a 3 month supply because they have a guarentee on there product so I thought well if it dont work I can still get my money back. I prayed alot and tried to keep in tune with my cycle, I noticed within a month I was ovulating, well I had my last period September 23, and it never showed up in October so I started to test and they were very faint positives so I went to the doctor and I am pregnant 5 weeks and 4 days!! I am still in awe because I have been trying so long and it just happened out of the blue. I encourage you to look into Ovulex because I think it really helped me! Good Luck to you!!

Hey man be careful with the Yohimbe thats in that product..It can make your heart race and cause Anxiety and Panic attacks as well..
Im assuming that you bought this product from Vitamin World because thats the only place that ive seen this available..Most of those ingredients are stimulants and if you have any sort of heart problem or anxiety problem then i suggest you stop taking that immediately..Also make sure when you take that that you dont have ANY caffiene what so ever!!..Seriously brother be careful with that!…ok.
